Anchorage placement is the most critical phase of a moment frame
installation. The newly redesigned templates make anchor-bolt
placement easy and reduces the chances of misplaced anchor bolts.
The templates are sold as part of the moment frame shear-lug kit or
the moment frame anchor-bolt kit. These preassembled anchorage
assemblies make the placement of anchor bolts quick and easy.
Simply locate the first leg of the moment frame and nail the template
to the wood forms with arrow pointing to center of the frame. Hook a
tape measure on the center-line slot and then pull the tape to locate
the center of the opposite leg of the moment frame. Center-line
marks on the templates make for accurate placement.

The template is also sold separately for use with field-assembled anchor bolts that allows customized anchor-bolt design while still providing the accuracy of using a template.
